Light Ten Thousand Cell Phones

Watching video of the first minutes in Tahrir Square after the announcement of President Mubarak’s resignation my attention was caught by the multitude of glowing blue squares of cellphones and the like held high to record the moment.

Truly, Facebook, Twitter, and the Internet, albeit abetted by good old fashioned landlines, helped release the genie from the bottle this time.

Amazing to sit here in snowy Canada and be given such a window on happenings half a world away.

While we wait for the day to dawn and the smoke of celebratory fireworks to clear, I pray that the one who is the light of the world and the sun risen with healing in his wings, would bless Egypt and uphold what is good.
